Chapter 48
Chen Mo gave Lao Gou six points in return.
Lao Gou persisted, "Just tell me if it's you?"
Chen Mo: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, these speculations are all nonsense."
Lao Gou immediately replied: "Okay, no need to say anything, I knew it was you!"
Chen Mo didn't need to say anything else.
Lao Gou started to output rapidly.
"As your brother, I am really worried about you. You were so sad last night, and Brother Yan comforted you, right? I think some people are just too bored to take photos for no reason and even spread rumors."
Lao Gou thought he had found the most reasonable reason.
Chen Mo was embarrassed to say it. They kissed each other on the mouth last night. He was afraid that telling it would scare Lao Gou to death.
Although Lao Gou has been on the front line of gossip all year round, he is a very straightforward person.
Chen Mo told him in person that Xi Siyan didn't like men, and he was afraid that he would believe it more than he did. Otherwise, he wouldn't have squeezed him to live with Xi Siyan in Bingyuan Town before.
Chen Mo replied: "It's a small matter. Don't talk nonsense in the group." He added: "Anonymous small accounts are not allowed either."
"I won't do such a thing." Lao Gou rolled his eyes at him. "If you and the squad leader really have an affair, I can still go up to them secretly and expose some information. You don't understand the joy of watching people get anxious and want to eat melons. But there is nothing wrong with you two, right? Am I going to go up to everyone and say, I know the person I photographed last night! He is my brother, and he is a man! Isn't it funny? I am afraid that he will kill me if I spread rumors that the squad leader is gay."
Chen Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I don't know whether to say that Lao Gou is sharp or dull.
I didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Chen Mo ended his casual chat with Lao Gou.
He took his bank card, room card, wallet and other items, stood up and said to Xi Siyan, "Is there anything else to do now? Let Uncle Lin take me there."
"Let's go." Xi Siyan glanced at him and didn't ask any extra questions.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly all day, with the surface temperature reaching over 40 degrees. At this point, the sun was setting noticeably, but the temperature had only dropped slightly, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.
However, the air conditioning in the car is sufficient and the temperature is just right so that people don’t feel cold.
Uncle Lin was still as silent as usual.
Chen Mo looked at the person sitting next to him. He had his legs crossed and the interface of the laptop on his lap was the official website of a famous foreign university.
Chen Mo took a quick look and asked, "Have you decided on a school?"
"No." Xi Siyan looked at the computer without looking up, raised his eyebrows and explained simply: "My uncle sent it to me. He happened to be abroad recently. He said that he would prepare the recommendation letter in advance if necessary."
Chen Mo said truthfully: "It's a good opportunity."
Only then did Xi Siyan look at him, "Do you think this is a good opportunity?"
"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded.
Xi Siyan asked again: "Have you ever thought about going abroad?"
"Me?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I don't have such plans."
Uncle Lin in front of him coughed and continued, "Master Mo, actually going to school abroad is not bad. Isn't it popular in China to study abroad? Even my own two children, if their grades were not so bad, would have been sent abroad in their early years. What a pity."
Chen Mo could see that Uncle Lin really felt it was a pity.
He smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, don't call me that. You don't have to call me that in the future."
Uncle Lin paused, looked at Xi Siyan in the rearview mirror, and when he saw that the other party didn't react, he responded.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the Yang family’s gate.
From a distance, I could see a number of reporters with cameras standing outside the door.
Xi Siyan looked outside and said, "Uncle Lin, find someone to get these people away."
"Okay." Uncle Lin said.
Uncle Lin just made a few phone calls, and all the reporters outside the Yang family's door left within ten minutes.
"Are you okay?" Xi Siyan asked him.
Chen Mo glanced at the Yang family's villa and said, "Well, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
This day in my previous life was postponed to many years later.
At that time, the conflicts over the years had reached their peak, and all emotions had been exhausted. He and everyone in the Yang family hated each other and used the darkest thoughts to speculate about each other. Even more than Chen Jianli and Li Yunru.
The day of the final break was quite ugly.
Shares, money, power, whoever is sure to win is like holding the other person's life in his hands. It is so ugly that every time Chen Mo thinks of it, he feels that he is particularly hateful.
This time, Chen Mo returned here on a sunny afternoon with a very calm mind.
At this time, he was only seventeen years old and had only been back in the Yang family for a year.
But one year is enough.
Watching the pool water become turbid with his own eyes, he also came to an account of his past self.
He asked himself in his previous life, "Did you see it clearly this time?" This is the truth and essence that you have been pursuing all your life. It is not worth spending years on it.
Behind him.
Uncle Lin asked the person in the back seat, "Let him go in by himself to make sure it's okay? The Yang family is probably in chaos right now."
"There are benefits to chaos." Xi Siyan retracted his gaze, "The Yang family has been stable for too long and has forgotten their original intention."
Uncle Lin sighed.
"It's a pity for Chen Mo, he's good in every aspect except for his bad luck." Uncle Lin said this and turned around, "Ayan, are you going to tell him that the old man insisted that you go abroad?"
"Nothing is certain, what's there to say?" Xi Siyan said in a faint voice.
Uncle Lin smiled bitterly, "If the younger generation of the Xi family had a few more children, not everything would be placed on your shoulders. It's a pity that your parents don't have such thoughts, and your second uncle is even more unreliable. This time he said he was going abroad to keep an eye on the business for the old man, but he has never been involved in this field, so he is bound to suffer losses."
Xi Siyan closed his notebook and looked out the window again.
Uncle Lin didn't say anything else.
He had lived most of his life, and he used to drive for the old man. In his mind, Ah Yan was still a child. Two years ago, he was assigned to the job by the old man, and he knew at that time that the future heir of the Xi family would not be anyone else.
But only this moment.
Uncle Lin then felt that the child in his impression had really grown up.
Perhaps he already had the ability to oppose and disobey the old master.
But what he is thinking is no longer easy to guess.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Yang family villa was stagnant.
Because there were many reporters outside early in the morning, the Yang family launched an emergency public relations, making explanations and statements to the media. Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but because of an interview with Li Yunru in the afternoon, everything fell through.
Yang Shule had already had a hysterical temper tantrum.
Countless cups, plates and bowls were smashed in the living room, making a mess.
But on the screen that took up half of the wall, a woman's voice was playing in a loop: "It was a rainy day. I accidentally fell on the way to work and was sent to the hospital... I took the child and escaped from the hospital. I hid for several days for fear of being discovered. The child's face was blue and purple for a long time. I thought he would not survive..."
"Turn it off! Can you please turn it off!!!"
Yang Shule loudly accused the servant.
Unfortunately, no one listened to him this time.
Yang Qi'an was still standing by the window, talking on the phone, his voice tired: "Yes, we adults have lost our minds... The prosecution has entered the process, and a notice will be issued. If we want to sue, it will not only be extortion, but also child abuse..."
If Yang Shule got so angry on weekdays, Zhou Yaoqing, who would have coaxed him, was now staring at the screen in a daze. The words of the haggard woman on TV completely broke her self-deception.
She recalled the pain she felt on the day she gave birth.
She was looking forward to her husband coming soon, but the first thing she saw when she woke up was her eldest son holding her hand and excitedly saying, "Mom, it's a little brother."
When she heard that her child was not feeling well, she burst into tears subconsciously without even realizing it.
Over the years, it is true that their relationship has been smoothed over by this son. She has devoted all her efforts to raising him, but at the same time she feels guilty for not giving him a good body, and she has poured all the affection she lacked for her husband into her child.
So when she found out that her son was not her biological son, she could not accept it subconsciously. Even if it was true, she had raised him for more than ten years, so he would have become her biological son long ago.
Especially when she found that Chen Mo was far from her ideal, she avoided him, acted perfunctorily, and turned a blind eye.
Unfortunately, this self-deception will eventually be shattered.
This day came unexpectedly.
Especially when I heard Li Yunru say that she stole a premature baby out of the hospital and hid it away.
She suddenly remembered that she had given birth to a child with all her efforts, but she almost never saw him again. She thought of Chen Mo's poor stomach, injured legs, and the fundamental reason why he had been away from school for a long time and never came back.
She looked up and asked her eldest son beside her, "Where's Chen Moren? Haven't you found him yet?"
Yang Zhi's face also looked quite ugly.
Because a report reminded him of the time when his mother was still pregnant. At that time, his parents had a bad relationship, and he really wanted a brother or sister with blood relationship to accompany him. He had expected this brother. Without any purpose, without any other thoughts.
Yang Zhi shook his head: "Not yet."
"Isn't it too late to find someone now?" Su Qianran, who came to Yang Zhi to discuss cooperation, was trapped in the villa for a day because of the reporter. At this moment, she sat on the other side of the sofa and taunted Yang Zhi who was looking over: "If I were Chen Mo, I would never come back."
Yang Zhi's face froze.
He pinched his eyebrows and said, "Don't make trouble."
Su Qianran snorted coldly.
She thought she would never tell Yang Zhi, and her brother probably didn't take the matter seriously at all.
She had seen his intelligence and ability.
He knew very well that he could live well even without the Yang family.
Only after he finished going crazy did Yang Shule realize the change in everyone's attitude at home, and he became completely panicked.
"Mom, Dad, and Big Brother." Yang Shule approached the sofa with red and swollen eyes.
He habitually grabbed his mother's sleeve, his voice trembling: "I'm sorry, I know I let you down this time. I apologize to Chen Mo. I shouldn't have contacted Chen Jianli because I was jealous that he was doing better than me in school, and ended up getting my family into trouble. I..."
Su Qianran rolled her eyes.
Zhou Yaoqing did not give any special response.
After returning from the phone call, Yang Qi'an sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples.
"Dad." Yang Shule called out nervously.
Yang Qi'an looked up at him with cold eyes, and said, "Don't worry, the Yang family will not drive you out, especially at this critical moment. You are still the son of the Yang family, but I must make one thing clear, you must never compete with Chen Mo for anything in the future, and the Yang family will do its best to compensate him, and..."
When Yang Qi'an said this, he noticed that the servant at the door suddenly called out twice.
"Master Mo?" He was shocked at first.
Then he raised his voice: "Master Mo is back."
Everyone in the room stood up.
Looking at the person who was walking slowly through the door, stepping on the debris on the ground.
The young man was dressed simply, the same as when he first walked into this door, yet completely different.
He looked around and said, "They are all here."
"Xiao Mo."
"Where have you been these past two days?"
"Come on, come and sit down first."
"No need to sit down."
Chen Mo smiled at Su Qianran who winked at him, took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the coffee table.
Slowly but without hesitation, he said, "There is a total of 158,325 yuan on this card."
"Fifty thousand is my pocket money for the year, and one hundred thousand is all my expenses since the day I entered the Yang family, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. I can't calculate it, so I rounded it up. As for the other eight thousand three hundred and twenty-five yuan, it's the money for the gift you brought me when you went to Yuhuai Village. I've seen the invoice, not a cent more or less, it's all here."
There were more than one person who was stunned at the scene.
Yang Zhi frowned, as if he had a premonition, and asked: "Chen Mo, what does this mean?"
"It's obvious that I, Chen Mo, am even with the Yang family."
Yang Qi'an said angrily: "You are the son of our Yang family!"
"Dad." Chen Mo laughed so hard that he trembled, then turned cold, "I don't remember my last name is Yang."
